Don’t get fooled by these common scams in the plumbing and air conditioning industries.
1. Very cheap drain cleaning (rooter)
It is a very common practice for companies to offer a $100 or less drain cleaning service with free camera inspection. This is simply a way for companies to get in the door and “save the day” only to find “major issues”. We’ve caught companies trying to charge as $20,000+ for fake repairs that were completely unnecessary.
2. Low cost water heaters
Another common practice are $500-700 water heaters. This is also used to fool the average consumer. The plumber will give you a quote over the phone and show up with the new heater. Shortly after arriving they will find a laundry list of additional repairs to complete the job making the cost upwards of $1200-1500 minimum. Here at Second Opinion our installs are 100% inclusive. Our price includes install, disposal, T&P relief line, venting, valve and flex lines as well as an emergency catch pan. Absolutely zero hidden fees at a much lower overall cost, the way it should be.
3. Below average cost AC inspections $39.00-69.00.
Most companies that offer these low price inspections will also find required repairs but over charge for these simple repairs like capacitors or fan motors. We believe to charge a little bit more for the inspection ($89.00) and to take our time and do it properly ensuring you know exactly how your unit is performing with an easy to understand form with all readings. This also allows us to charge much less for any necessary repairs.
91% of our clients are referred by word of mouth and not by TV or radio commercial's!!

Hot water hose for the washer was frozen on the hose bib and wouldn’t budge. Brandon was able to get it to break loose and removed it. Brandon and Second Opinion Plumbing were very responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. I would recommend using this company.

I noticed water leaking at the base of my water heater so I called second Opinion Plumbing, and they came out the same day. They were very nice and helpful on the phone, and Charles Harvey installed a new water heater within a couple of hours. Very nice job, and professional installation. I’ll be calling them again for future work.
Sam Sherrill
They were professional, and focused on the quality of their work. No games. Their service was timely and they had a good work ethic. I then hired them to replace a bad water softener, which they did the following day, in the same timely manor. I will call this company the next time I need a plumber.

First time using Second Opinion, and I was impressed. Charles was the plumber that helped us. He understood exactly what needed to be done after asking a few questions. He was fast, did the work perfectly, and we were charged a very reasonable rate. Will use them again!

I called several plumbing companies on Sunday morning and Second Opinion Plumbing was the only one that could come out that day. We will definitely use this company for all our personal and business needs. I highly recommend Charles and this company.

Second Opinion Plumbing will be the plumber I use now and going forward. This was the second time I have used them and Justin was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Justin was able to handle my plumbing needs with expertise and speed.

These guys were great! I rarely write reviews online (good, or bad), but felt compelled to pitch in a good word on this one. We just had a simple drain blockage, but these guys were extremely friendly, up front, and efficient. Arrived ahead of schedule and made for a very pleasant experience.
Marsha Smith
My second experience with Second Opinion Plumbing was just as positive as the first. My compliments to Kyle for providing great customer service…arrived early, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and neat & clean from start to finish! Would highly recommend their plumbing service to friends and neighbors!

Fantastic work! Had them re-do the placement of my kitchen garbage disposal and they were able to schedule me same day according to my schedule. They were very prompt and professional. Will be using them again if I ever need plumbing fixes/repairs! 10/10
Jake Cook
Kyle from Second Opinion Plumbing was absolutely outstanding. Saved me money on a valve replacement. Went out of his way to fix the valve so I wouldn’t have to have an expensive replacement valve. Timely response within 20min on a Saturday. Cant say enough about the service. Finally a company that knows how to treat customers. Thanks Kyle.
